In Canada January 31, 1933 Claims.

This invention relates to a necktie and has for its principal object means for retaining the suspending portions of a necktie relative to each other and to a garment of the wearer.

A further object of my invention is the provision of a necktie embodying means for holding the suspended portions of the necktie relative to a garment of the wearer and which means is adjustably supported on the necktie so that the same may be moved to register with and engage a shirt button or the like. I

A further object of my invention is the provision of a necktie embodying a holding means as above described which holding means is of simplified construction and may be manufactured at a minimum cost.

With the foregoing and other objects in view, as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of the novel construction, combination and arrangement of co-operating elements as hereinafter more specifically set forth, claimed and shown in the accompanying drawing forming a part of the present application, in which:

Fig. 1 is an inner elevational view of the lower portions of a necktie embodying the preferred embodiment of my invention.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a sectional view of a portion of a necktie, disclosing a modified means of supporting the necktie holder relative to the body portion of the necktie.

Figs. 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 illustrate modified forms of means for supporting the necktie holder relative to the body portion of the necktie.

Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the different views.

Referring to Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawing, 8

represents the body portion and 9 the tail portion of the necktie. The opposite sides of the body portion 8 are folded inwardly towards each other as at 8a and the inner edges of the same are lapped around a cord 10 to provide the beads 11. The panels 12 are aligned at their outer edges with the folded inner edges of the portions 8a and the three thicknesses of material are sewn together as at 14. The inner edges of the panels 12 are then sewn together as at 15.

16 is a short length of tape which has the clips 17 secured to the opposite ends. The clips 17 are bifurcated and curved to substantially encircle the beads 11. The unit composed of the tape 16 and clips 17 may be moved longitudinally 55 of the body portion of the necktie, the clips 17 smoothly engaging the beads 11. The tail portion 9 of the necktie is adapted to be inserted between the tape 16 and the panels 12 after which the unit 1617 may be raised or lowered on the body portion of the tie and a shirt button may be inserted through the button hole 18 to retain the unit 16-17 relative to a shirt or other-garment.

In the modified form as shown in Fig. 3, the side portions 8b of the body portion of the necktie are lapped around the cord 10b, are then continued as at 12a and are joined in asimilar manner to the panels 12, disclosed in Fig. 2, as at 15. The contacting faces of the portions 8b and 12a are suitably sewed together as at 14a.

Referring to Fig. 4, the tape 16a has secured to the ends thereof, a clip 17a which clip is bifurcated and has its opposite flanges stamped to provide the inwardly extending curved portions 19. In the use of this modified form, the head 11 would extend through the space 20 intermediate the curved portions 19 and the end of the tape 16a. Owing to the curved formation of the portions 19, they will ride smoothly in contact with the fabric of the tie and not subject the same to lll y.

Referring to Fig. 5, the clip 17b is formed of a length of wire suitably bent into shape to form the resilient curved portions 19a and bar 21. In this form of clip, the tape 16b is lapped around the bar 21 and suitably connected thereto. In this modified form, the bead 11 would extend intermediate the curved portions 190, and the end of the tape 16b and the curved portions 19a, being resilient, will ride smoothly relative to the fabric of the necktie:

The modified form of clip, as shown in Fig. 6, is formed from a metal stamping and is substantially the same shape as the disclosure in Fig. 5. The portions 19b are curved at their outer ends to provide smooth contact with the fabric of the necktie while the end of the tape 16c is lapped around the bar 21a and suitably connected thereto.

Referring to Fig. 7, I provide a single bead 11a which has the cord 10a therein. The necktie holder is formed as a shallow loop 16d, through which the tail portion of the necktie is adapted to extend, and has the clips 17d carried at the top and bottom of the inner side of said loop 16d and a key hole slot 18a provided in the outer side of the loop. The clips 17:! substantially encircle the bead lla so that the tie holder 16d may be moved longitudinally relative to the body portion 8 of the necktie. A shirt button or the like retained relative to a wearers garment.

may be engaged in the key hole slot 18a to retain the tie holder 16d relative to a garment of the wearer.

Referring to Fig. 8, I provide a clip 17c, which is provided with the curved side portions 19c adapted to substantially encircle a single bead 11b on the body portion of the necktie 8. The tongues 21b are bent in a reverse manner to the portions 19c and are adapted to engage the inner side of the looped tape 16c, through which the tail portion of the necktie is adapted to be extended. This looped tape 16c may be provided with a button hole 18b through which a shirt button or the like may be inserted to retain the necktie holder relative to a garment of the wearer.

The foregoing specification and annexed drawing disclose the preferred embodiments of my invention, but it is to be understood that minor changes may be resorted to in the commercial adaptation of my invention without departing from the scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.

What I claim as new is:

1. A necktie comprising a body portion and a tail portion; a pair of spaced beads formed on said body portion and a necktie holder slidably mounted on said beads whereby the tail portion of the necktie may be retained relative to the body portion thereof and the body portion may be 2. A necktie comprising a body portion and a I tail portion; a pair of spaced beads formed on said body portion; a clip slidably mounted on each of said beads and a tape supported by said clips whereby the tail portion of the necktie may be retained relative to the body portion thereof. 3. A necktie comprising a body portion and a tail portion; a pair of spaced beads formed on said body portion; a clip slidably mounted on each of said beads; a tape supported by and between said clips whereby the said tail portion of said necktie may be retained relative to the body portion thereof and said tape having an opening formed therein whereby the said tape may be engaged relative to a wearers garment. 4. A necktie comprising a body portion and a tail portion; the inner face of said body portion being beaded in substantially longitudinal relation thereto; clips engaging with and slidably mounted relative to the beaded portion of said body portion and a necktie holder carried by said clips whereby the tail portion of the necktie may be retained relative to the body portion thereof. 5. A necktie comprising a body portion and a tail portion; the inner face of said body portion being beaded in substantially longitudinal relation thereto; clips engaging with and slidably mounted relative to the beaded portion of said body portion; a necktie holder carried by said clips whereby the tail portion of the necktie may be retained relative to the body portion thereof and said holder having an opening formed therein whereby the said holder may be engaged relative to a wearers garment.
